Most Helpful Guy

Trust me when i say this because i have experience at both sides of the age spectrum. If you are 18 and he is 28 or older it's ok but don't expect it to last or be very serious. You both are at much different stages of life. If you were 28 and he was 38 you would have more similar life experiences and that relationship would stand a greater chance of survival.

So what you are saying is that if they are 20 and 30 it won't really work?

The odds are against you. But if you are the 20 and he is the 30 use the opportunity to learn and grow. When I was 23 I dated a 37 woman (she looked 30). I learned so much from her and experienced things not many other 23 yo guys had. We went our separate ways after about a year. Then at 27 I dated a beautiful 18yo. That didn't last either but was told later that she learned and grew a lot from our time together. So enjoy, learn, grow, get your heart broken and learn and grow some more.

It's not even for me my friends sister broke up with a boyfriend her age with whom she had a child because he constantly was drunk and started doing drugs she isn't 20, she is 23 but close enough and her new boyfriend is 33 and she loves him and he treats her and her child with love and respect and they are planning to get married but my friend is worried about the age gap.

You've just added some interesting details. Believe it or not 23-33 is a little different than 20-30 also, there are kids involved? How long have they been dating and how long until she introduced her child to him? how old is the child?

I meant when the person is already of legal age. And it's actually not for me. My friends sister is 20 and her new boyfriend is 30 so my friend is kinda worried about the age gap and I keep telling her it's fine if they really do love each other
